Welcome to your
Neighbourhood
Perfectly Located
Set by the banks of the gently flowing River Orwell and a mere fifteen-minute stroll into the heart of Ipswich, our townhouses in Suffolk County offer an enviable location.
Walk out of Merchants Yard and you’ll soon be stepping into the historic town centre. Ipswich really is a shopper’s paradise, with well-known brands and independent retailers jostling for your attention along the bustling high streets. After some well-deserved retail therapy, you’ll surely make good use of the many bistros, pubs, and restaurants close by.
Welcome to Your Neighbourhood
Close to home, you'll find Cardinal Park, where you can also enjoy the delights of multiple eateries and latest showcasing at Cineworld. Or, if you are more the get up and go type, you can work out at The Gym Group, all a stones throw from our houses to let in Ipswich.
This area is home to some of the most inspirational arts and cultural events in the East of England. The New Wolsey Theatre offers a thrilling programme of productions throughout the year, while the Ipswich Regent hosts East Anglia’s largest offering for UK and European shows from comedy, music, and theatre.
Down By The Marina
Across from Merchants Yard, you're welcome to explore Neptune Marina, showing how the waterfront has been at the heart of the town’s 1,500-year history.
With picture-perfect views over the elegant waters and their forest of masts, Ipswich is an ever-popular destination for whiling away a few hours at any time of day or night. Thanks to a seemingly endless collection of bars, cafes, and eateries perched along the stream, you’ll never run out of things to do.
Besides its fantastic year-round cultural scene and festivals, the marina is home to one of UK’s leading national dance organisations, DanceEast.
A Breath of Fresh Air
The new pedestrian and cycle route running by the River Orwell and the town beyond, ensures Merchants Yard residents benefit from the east-west linkage between Princes Street and Bridge Street. It’s good to know that each of our Ipswich houses for rent without a garage will be equipped with cycle storage, making it simple for everyone to take out their bike.
Adventuring Beyond
With easy access to the train station, it’s quick and easy to leave the town behind and explore the wider Suffolk countryside – you’ll discover a world of unspoilt rural landscapes. Indeed, Ipswich is surrounded by two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: the Suffolk Coast and Heaths and Dedham Vale. So, if natural adventures are your kind of thing, Merchants Yard is your kind of place.
Brilliant For Families
We're perfectly located moments from a host of excellent schools for all ages – the smart choice for families with kids at every stage. There’s a good selection of highly-rated nurseries nearby for the youngest members of your family. Primary school-age pupils can opt for the local Hillside Primary & Nursery or the nearby St Helens Primary. For the teens out there, there’s Stoke High School and Chantry Academy. Plus, the University of Suffolk is all just a safe walk away.
To top things off, our community boasts a well-equipped play park, giving children the perfect place to spend time with friends.
